India needs to increase exports to become world’s third-largest economic power: Shantanu Thakur

11 Jul 2025 Evaluate

Expressing an optimism over India’s economic growth prospects, Minister of State for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Shantanu Thakur has said that the country will have to increase its exports to become the world’s third-largest economic power, and the shipping and waterways sector will play a vital role in enhancing exports.

He stresses the need for equal and balanced focus on the development of each sector and said priority must be given to enhancing the value of Indian products. He highlighted that the reduction of turnaround time for transporting goods from one state to another is of paramount importance.

He added that the use of artificial intelligence is imperative for the deeper development of the shipping and logistics sector. Noting that 70 per cent of trade is conducted via shipping, he stressed the need for vast development of the shipping industry.

The minister also emphasised the need to improve communication systems to establish a robust connectivity infrastructure across the country -- from the Northeast to the Northwest -- ensuring seamless first-mile and last-mile connectivity.
